* In ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles'', Edna designs each of the Parr family's suits to the wearer's powers. Since the infant Jack-Jack had yet to manifest any powers at that point, she went for a variety of "basics" that include comfortable fabric (to mind his infancy), roominess [[spoiler:(which would be useful when it turns out Jack-Jack has a minor HulkOut form)]], and being bulletproof and fireproof [[spoiler:(which would be useful when it turns out Jack-Jack has ManOnFire and ChromeChampion forms)]].

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Epic}}'' Queen Tara tells MK how to restore herself to normal size before she's even been shrunk, knowing that MK would follow her subsequent instruction to find Nim Galuu, and from him procure a record of that memory from the Queen's perspective so as to get the message.

-->''But I got horns that open bottles, and I got horns that hold my keys''
-->''I got horns that when you turn 'em right, that help me watch TV''

* [[FourStarBadass General W.R. Monger]] from ''WesternAnimation/MonstersVsAliens''.
-->'''Monger:''' ''[after their plane got blasted down by a huge alien fireball]'' This is why I ''always'' wear a parachute, lieutenant.

* In ''{{WesternAnimation/Brave}}'', after [[spoiler:Merida's mom turns into a bear]], Merida returns to the witch's cottage. Said witch left various messages (as potions), and left one that said "If you are that red haired lass, the way to break the spell is: 'you must mend the bond torn by pride.'" Also applies as TheTapeKnewYouWouldSayThat trope.

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Trolls}}'': Branch lives in a heavily fortified bunker, which ends up saving him from the invasion of Bergens (even though it was supposed to apparently keep Poppy out). He even says it word for word when he tells Poppy that he's got enough supplies for 10 years - 11 if he's prepared to drink his own sweat, which he is.

* In ''WesternAnimation/Shrek2'', the guards of Far Far Away's castle not only have enough milk to melt the giant gingerbread soldier attacking them, but they have it ''on hand''. No mention of sending people to the kitchens to get it. Just gigantic kegs of milk, stored on their battlements in case they need it.

* Lampshaded in ''WesternAnimation/{{Hoodwinked}}'' where the Mountain Goat constantly brags about how he's prepared for whatever may come. He even sings a song about the importance of it all (''Be prepared, be prepared, this lesson must be shared...'') Granny counts too, since she carried "a bit of this, a bit of that, a bit haz-mat"...
** And then subverted with Japeth the Goat.
---> Ooooooh, an avalanche is comin', and I do not feel prepared,
---> It's rumblin' like a mountain lion - I must say that I'm scared,
---> And if not for the witch's spell, you'd hear just how I scream,
---> But since I'm only singin',
---> I'll just yodel 'til we're creamed!
*** And then DoubleSubverted, as he turned out to be wearing ''helicopter horns''.
----> I was prepared!

** Maybe Granny counts this trope too, given she carries avalanche detonation charges with her during the ski race.
*** Actually it was the Thugs that caused the avalanche, using grenades.

Since the infant Jack-Jack had yet to manifest any powers at that point, she went for a variety of "basics" that include roominess, comfortable fabric, and being bulletproof and fireproof.

* Rourke from the Disney film ''Disney/AtlantisTheLostEmpire'' is described as "never being surprised". This would include having folding fighter planes. Atlantians who manage to improbably restart ancient flying machines to create an aerial fighting force to pursue the plunderers are also featured. Fighter planes on an ''underground'' mission, no less. Fighter planes on an underground, ''underwater'' mission. That prepared-ness can be attributed to Whitmore, the Atlantis expedition's eccentric financer, who provided said expedition with: one truly titanic submarine (equipped with torpedo turrets, fighter subpods, and four escape subs), an enormous drill-on-wheels, the above folding fighter planes, an inflate-in-a-moment escape balloon, etc etc.

---> '''Monger''' ''(After their plane got blasted down by a huge alien fireball)'': This is why I ''always'' wear a parachute, lieutenant.

--> '''Helen:''' "What on Earth do you think the baby will be doing?!"
--> '''Edna:''' "Well, I'm sure I don't know, darling. Luck favors the prepared. I didn't know the baby's powers, so I covered the basics."

* WesternAnimation/MegaMind always loses to Metro Man, but has learned a lot from his mistakes because of that. In particular, this is demonstrated when he brings out a solid-copper shell to stop a new hero he created when things get a bit too dicey, since Metro Man claimed that copper was his one weakness just before he died. [[spoiler: Unfortunately for Mega Mind, Metro Man was lying so that he could fake his death and the copper shell only gets him a few seconds of safety.]]

He even says it word for word when he tells Poppy that he's got enough supplies for 10 years - 11 if he's prepared to drink his own sweat, which he is.

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles'', this happens after Helen sees Jack-Jack's super suit, which Edna has made fireproof and bulletproof:

--> '''Edna:''' "Well, I'm sure I don't know, darling. Luck favors the prepared. I didn't know the baby's powers, so I covered the basics."

* ''Manga/DeathNote'' has Light's ProperlyParanoid heading into this fast enough. Light always makes sure to know if someone entered his room while he was out by having a slip of paper stuck in the doorframe. But that's not all! He also leaves the door handle lowered by ''5 centimeters (about 1 inch)'' compared to its usual, straight resting position ''and'' he has a thin piece of pencil lead stuck on top of one of the hinges, which gets crushed if someone other than him enters his room.
** Taking the ProperlyParanoid idea that, if he is under surveillance by the police, Light has to make sure to keep the Death Note well hidden, so he decides to create a fake bottom for his drawer in which the notebook is hidden... and it's set up to ''explode'' if someone who doesn't know the trick to it tries to open it!
** L is already a known genius and he knows his limits as a human, [[spoiler: so he has an entire house full of Orphans that are practically ''trained'' to take over his position as "L" when he dies]].
